Dear Sirs,

RE: Paralympic Reception -25th February 2009

On behalf of the Royal Household Property Section, I would like to thank yourselves for the work Mahood Marquees carried out for our department in association with Paralympic Reception.

From the tendering stage, throughout the build and clearing from site, the work was handled with complete professionalism.

I would add that although this was your first Contract for The Royal Household, the "rules, regulations and protocol" associated with working in Buckingham Palace can be quite daunting but all your staff conducted themeselves in a polite and considerate manner which certainly contributed to the success the event was.

We shall look forward to inviting your company to tender for any work in the future.

Yours Faithfully,
John Barrand
B&CE Surveyor

Dear Graham,

On behalf of the Prince's Trust in the North West I would like to say a huge thank you for your support of the Eaton Park Gala Ball. Throughout the whole organisation of the event as well as on the evening you and your staff were extremely helpful and supportive.

We have been inundated with praise and warm wishes about the event but in paticular how fabulous the marquee looked so thank you for all your hard work and patience.

I am sure you will agree it was a magical event hosted by Their Graces, The Duke and Duchess of Westminster and in the rare presence of our President, HRH The Prince of Wales. I am delighted to report that the event was a fantastic success raising over £250'000 for The Prince's Trust which we supply couldn't have been done without your tremndous support.

With very best wishes,

Dear Grahame,

We at Manchester City Football Club would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work and help through out the busy Christmas period.

The marquee was a vast improvement on the previous marquees we have had and not only did other colleagues mention this but so did customers. The feedback in relation to the Christmas party product in the marquee has been outstanding and having a high quality specification of marquee has certainly added to this..

Thank you once again and pass on our thanks to the entire team at Mahood, they are a credit to the company and nothing was ever to much trouble. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Kind Regards,
Angela Hodson
Conference and Events Sales Manager

Dear Grahame,

I cannot thank you and the Mahood team enough for everything that you did for us at Hodent Hall. It all came together perfectly and your guys did a first class job in getting everything done to schedule as well being more than helpful with endless requests.

I know that the Heber-Percy's were thrilled with it and it exceeded all their expectations. Sophie described the whole day as "magical" while Mrs Heber-Percy said that it was what she had dreamed of.

Everyone worked tirelessley around the clock to make sure that the job was a great success. The Hodnet team said to me more than once what a great group of guys you had working on the job, they were polite, professional, tidy, helpful and made speedy progress both puttin it up and pulling it down. I could hardly believe my eyes on Sunday to see so little of the dining and nightclub area.

Terry was a legend! I have never known a marquee guy like him. There was nothing that he couldn't and didn't do, from cleaning the doors, helping with techinical stuff, moving skips and putting tables up and in the right place. He was a real star and so patient with the endless requests that came his way.

Geraldine too, was fantastic. There were frequent phone calls requesting additional items and changing table quantities right up until a few days prior to the party and I am grateful for everything she so kindly organised.

It was a pleasure to work with you and I hope that 2009 brings more opportunities.

Best wishes,
Emily

Dear John,
Just a personal note of thanks for a super marquee last week. We had a great week with so many happy clients I had to pinch myself to believe what we had achieved. Albeit helped by the beautiful setting and weather, the marquee looked excellent.

Also, thank you to all the team who did an excellent job. I hop we can work together again in the near future.

Best regards,
Tim Crutchley
Joint Managing Director

Duke of Lancaster's Regiment - Fulwood Barracks

Dear Mr Ince

I am writing on behalf of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment to express my considerable gratitude for your most generous support to the Regiment when Her Majesty the Queen presented new Colours to the three battalions of the Regiment on Thursday 26th June 2008.

Since we were formed on 1st July 2006 from three proud old regiments, there have been many milestones. However none have been as significant in terms of upholding regimental traditions as the acceptance of our new Colours from our Colonel-in-Chief. Her Majesty's part in the ceremony was particularly significant, because as Duke of Lancaster, the Queen is our first Colonel-in-Chief. It is also of note that the presentation of Colours to a regiment only occurs every 20 or so years, therefore it was a once in a generation event.

Your assistance to us regarding the provision of marquees, furnishings and the saluting dais during the event was very much appreciated and without your assistance, planning and advice the day may not have gone as smoothly as it did. I think I can speak for everyone who attended that we all has a very successful and enjoyable day and your contribution played a very significant part in helping is to achieve this.

Thank you once again for your invaluable assistance.

Major General NH Rollo CBE
Colonel of the Regiment

Dear Graham,

On behalf of everyone at the Five Stars Appeal, a very big "thank you" for supplying us with such a fantastic marquee for Max and Ryan's Golfing event at the Belfry. It looked stunning and left a lasting impression.

The event was a huge success with lots of money being raised for the Appeal and the "icing on the cake" for most of the guests was the appearance of Mr Robbie Williams.

I understand you are now supplying the marquee for Barclays Bank for our big event at Radbroke Hall on the 8th July and I am sure Wendy will be in touch with you before then.

With our very best wishes

Charmaine Owen
Appeals Director.

Dear John,

We would like to say a huge thank you to you and the team for all the organisation, help and hard work that went into our fantastic 60th celebrations; the marquee was beyond our expectations.

Thank you for helping to make this such a memorable evincing for us all.

John & Emma.

Dear Graham,

Thank you so much for all you did to help make the event such a success. Although we had our ups and downs along the way, at all times it was extremely comforting to work with someone who is so positive, collaborative and take a pro-active role in getting the best outcome for the job.

Thank you for all you did to help us get the maximum impact for the best price - we truly appreciate all your efforts in this respect and value every penny saved which goes towards our cause.

As ever it has been an absolute pleasure to work with you Graham - your team are a credit to you and it was lovely to meet your brother. Thanks to the collective efforts of everybody involved we managed to raise over £1million on the night which I know will have a remarkable impact on the lives of the children we are so earnestly seeking to help. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again soon.

Best wishes,

Helene K Webb
Trustee

RICHARD SCOWCROFT FOUNDATION FUNDRAISING DINNER - TATTON PARK, 21st APRIL 2006

I am writing to thank you very much for making the above event so special.

The marquee was so beautiful and impressive that people were taking pictures of it before the dinner began. We had the most fantastic time and managed to raise over £400,000 for research into childhood bone cancer. We set a target of £250,000 and smashed it.

Thanks for everything and I will be in touch for the next one.
